Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I have just repurchased this one as I liked my first bottle so much. I initially received a sample of it and have continued using it since last year.

I think what I like so much about this one is that it it's very gentle but still leaves my skin feeling clean. I find a lot of cleansers can leave my face feeling tight and dry afterwards, but I have not had any issues with this one. It has quite a thick gel consistency and lathers up nicely. The pump top bottle is handy for the shower althought the downside of that is that it's normally hard to get to the remaining product at the end of the bottle.

I wasn't sold on the scent initially. The first Essano product I tried was the body lotion (which smells amazing) and I was taken aback at first that they did not have the same fragrance. This one is a lot more delicate and unobtrusive though, and it has grown on me over time.

I have noticed on the odd forgetful occasion that it's not the best at removing heavy eye makeup. I normally use a separate product to remove it before I cleanse anyway, so this is not a dealbreaker for me.

Overall I feel like this is a great product and reasonably priced.

Happy skin

I stumbled across this cleanser just recently as I hadn't seen it before - and due to my curious nature when it comes to cosmetics I had to buy it. I usually give my self a good week before making judgement on a product, and now three weeks in I am planning a trip to get some more.

I have found so many cleansers have dried my skin, left it feeling tight and irritated and this one has done the complete opposite. It feels like it is cleansing deep down in the pores and removes all makeup, including waterproof mascara. After a shower my skin feels moisturized and not tight at all.

And the big plus for me is that my skin blemishes have been disappearing one by one. Very happy :)

Tips: A little goes a long way!

Not drying

I purchased this in the pack of miniatures this brand sells to try out this range of products and see whether I wanted to purchase full sizes of any of them. As a lover of rosehip oil as a moisturiser this range really appealed to me.

I love that this comes in a pump bottle as I find this the quickest and cleanest way to use most beauty/skincare products. The cleanser looks like a gel when it is dispensed and when massaged into the skin turns into a light foam (it doesn't foam as much as a standard cleanser and to me is somewhere in between a cream cleanser and really foamy soap like cleanser). I like the light scent that this product has and have found it nice and gentle on my dry sensitive skin. Despite its gentleness I feel it cleanses my face well and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. I think this is a great cleanser for those who want something gentle and effective, but, probably not the best for those with more blemished skin who need a stronger (salicylic acid (or similar) containing) cleanser.

I think this is great value for money and I will enjoy using it when my skin isn't so prone to breakouts.

Tips: Purchase the miniature pack and try this in the small size before purchasing the full size to see if this is right for you :)

gentle cleansing

I was reading into rose hip oils and how great it is for your skin. I have combination skin with a couple pimple prone areas around my t-zone. I found my skin to be more balanced and to have improved incredibly by using this cleanser.

I found this cleanser to be gentle and quite hydrating. Did not dry out the skin like other cleansers do. The great this is natural as it does not contain any sulfurs or parabens. Great and gentle on the skin, yet I find removes my makeup well.

The gel formula means it wont foam up too much, so dont expect it to be all bubbly on your face. The only downside is that as it comes in a pump bottle and the formula is quite thick, you cant get most of the product left in the bottom of the bottle. I wish it came in a squeeze tube.

Essano Rosehip

I bought this about a month ago and have been using regularly since then and I love this facewash!

It's gentle, doesn't dry my skin out, and it has a lovely scent. I think the bottle design is good too - I enjoy having a pump style lid (although not good for taking away on trips). If you are wearing makeup you'd need to remove that separately as this doesn't seem to work very well as a remover.

Definitely recommend this over some other supermarket brand facewashes. I'm excited to try some of their other products.

Tips: Don't get it in your mouth! It tastes awful.

Essano Cleanser

I tried this cleanser as part of a trial pack from the supermarket. The pack was reasonably priced and the sizes were perfect for my gym bag. I was impressed with this cleanser. Because I have combination sensitive skin rosehip oil is a wonder product for me, as it heals the dry sensitive skin. However, I also get excess oil around my nose and chin, so I don't like using cleansers that are too creamy. As such. this lathering cleansing gel with rosehip oil is kind on my skin but gets the job done. This product was as effective or more effective than many more expensive brands I have tried. Trilogy, the other brand known for its use of rosehip oil, is much too rich for my skin and makes me break out. If you, like me, love rosehip oil but find Trilogy too heavy for your skin, give this one a go.

Tips: Buy the trial pack to sample most of the Essano products for a very reasonable price.

Hydrating cleannser

This cleanser does a beautiful job. I use it every night, especially following make up removal if I wore any that day or just to ensure my skin is clean before heading to be. It has quite a silky texture and is very hydrating. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and flaky like some other cleansers but it still feels clean. The scent is very pleasant and the product is very affordable.

Lovely

This is a lovely gel cleanser that slathers on to your face smoothly. It washes off leaving my skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. The scent is also very nice and the pump-out bottle is handy in the shower! The only thing is that is doesn't foam, so I'm not sure why it's called that

New face wash, finally

I have been using the Cetaphil Cleanser for about two years now and absolutely loved it. However, around a month ago I can across the Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser and I haven't looked back! I love how it's an organic natural brand that is accessible in supermarkets and not a bad price. The smell of the product isn't the nicest as it's natural but it is bearable and you get used to it. There is a pump so you can chose the amount that you use and it comes out in a thick gel consistency (like aloe vera gel) then you lather it up on your hands and apply to your face. It feels very soothing and refreshing on the skin and a little bit goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and soft. It is hydrating however I do recommend following up with a moisturizer to lock in and add extra moisture.

Absolute bliss!

I have been using Essano products for a good 6 months now and this gentle foaming cleanser is amazing on my skin. I have oily skin, suffer from the occasional breakout and have blackheads in the Tzone.Since using this cleanser,my face has become smoother and softer,the blackheads in the Tzone have significantly decreased and I actually feel more comfortable in my own skin now! It's a great product that I will continue to buy and is also great value.
